Topic: Pilsener malt and hot break (Read 616 times)

OK, I never use Pilsener malt. Let's just get that out of the way. I always substitute in pale malt because for a while I've had a lot around. However, I just made a Kolsch last weekend and I went ahead and used Weyermann Pilsener malt just for fun. Holy crap did I get some hot break! My hot breaks are usually subtle, but this was out of control! Gobs of the stuff were still on the surface when I finished the boil and the chill. To the point that I was trying to hold it back from the spigot with a spoon when I drained the kettle! Y'all ever seen this? I should have taken a picture...

Is that a counter-pressure bottle filler in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
